If I was running a forum, I'd rather level 1's get avatars and not have the ability to post images. It'd 100% guarantee imagespam trolls wouldnt just rand pop up.
Can't help but agree. I like that you needed to earn the privilege of posting pics. Out of curiosity, was this decision made by administrators or moderators? Or a combination of both?
Totally agree with both of you, this has nothing to do with the Mods here, like we have that kinda power
The only reason I know this has happened is that my Mrs posted a pic and shouted from the kitchen "Re-post my pic will ya!" so I went to and it was already there plus quotes are no coming up in blue As far as I know there was no notification of this ever happening
I think it has everything to do with the Mods. Obviously EA is watching, they see that the Mods are being effective, so they gave posters more liberty here. EA knows that no one can run rampant on the forum now.

That's a good point. The Mods here are quick to remove inappropriate posts, whether they be pics, or related to hacking, or whatever. You think at least they would get some sort of notification though. :?

I think it a case of how things normally run here, make something happen and let them all work it out just like working out when / how everyone was promoted to level2 before

Did the change happen to ALL of EAs forums or just the TSTO one?

Tbh I haven't checked any other EA forums as I very rarely use the other ones, im Simpson addicted
I lurk at the SIMS Free Play forum, since I play both games. I don't normally post there, though, because I don't want the moderator title to confuse them into thinking I'm a moderator over there when I'm not. However, I can poke around when lurking to see if they have also gained this ability.
Jeebus42, LadySimsAlot, Nogard0, Hulibert - all post at both places (if there are more, sorry but these are the ones I'm friends with at both forums and I remember off the top of my head) so maybe they can weigh in and answer the question.

Well, if it is the same on all the forums then it is just a policy change and has nothing to do with the mods. But if it is just this forum here, it has everything to do with the mods. No other reason to change just one forum.

They need to get rid of the zombie arms popping up and just put nice grass around the headstones. They can bring back the zombie arms at Halloween.
